    Grow up...

    ...then you can ask adult questions.

    Such as:

    "Why is it bad when Apple's 'mothership' is involved, but completely
    fine when it is PulseSMS's?"

    :-)

    Your interpretation of the situation is devoid of proper understanding.

    In this situation, the only way to get the ability to manage messages on
    all your devices is going to be to log into a common Internet server.

    Doesn't matter the platform. It's the only way to obtain the capability.

    And yet Arlen has consistently called being logged into such a service anathema.

    Ah, ok. Well that explains why Arlen constantly claims iMessage is bad
    because it requires logging into a common server.

    Oh, wait... 🤣

    Good luck explaining this to Arlen, the idiot troll constantly claiming
    this is somehow a "problem" with Apple's messaging system while
    conveniently ignoring all others.

    You seem to be the bigger Troll than Arlen.

    Why do you care?

    If you don't like what I post, killfile me.

    I promise, I'll take no offence.

    OTOH, you could try to relax and just laugh about it.

    Yes, clearly people who stand up to bullies are the real bullies,

    Yesterday I was on a Southwest flight. The free part of Wi-Fi supports
    iMessage and WhatsApp for messaging. Obviously SMS is not possible.

    If you have Wi-Fi (meaning you're on the Internet) why wouldn't SMS work?

    The free part of the Southwest Wi-Fi is only for iMessage, WhatsApp, and
    for in-flight entertainment. You don't get full Internet access for
    free, you have to pay for it. "Texting only allows access to iMessage
    and WhatsApp (which must be downloaded and activated before connecting
    to SouthwestWiFi)"

    What do you like about RCS that is specific to what RCS does for you?

    Lets me do MMS-type things (send photos mainly) without paying for them
    (here SMS is essentially free, but MMS are 50p each)

    I learned something from that (wholly unexpected) rationale for RCS...
    I was NOT expecting a payment-structuring decision to be your main reason.

    As you're well aware, across the pond, most of us get free everything in
    the monthly fee so we wouldn't distinguish between MMS & SMS for example.

    and without signing
    up for whatever whatsapp/signal/pulse/godknowswhat app my friends may use.

    Since any discussion of messaging & RCS inevitably brings the Apple folks
    into the fray, bear in mind Apple owners are _always_ signed into the mothership - which they don't realize is how they get features they love.

    When Android owners drop to their level of signing up for something as
    simple as messaging (e.g., with PulseSMS) they too get what Apple has.

    In fact, they get more.
